Exploring the Genetic Basis of Human Population Differences in DNA Methylation and their Causal Impact on Immune Gene Regulation

2018-07-23

Abstract excerpt

DNA methylation is influenced by both environmental and genetic factors and is increasingly thought to affect variation in complex traits and diseases. Yet, the extent of ancestry-related differences in DNA methylation, its genetic determinants, and their respective causal impact on immune gene regulation remain elusive. We report extensive population differences in DNA methylation between individuals of African a...
